COPS BAFFLED BY DISAPPEARANCE OF AMY AHONEN

COPS and family are growing increasingly fearful over the mystery disappearance of Amy Ahonen, 38, of Denver. The pretty blonde's black Jeep Liberty was discovered abandoned on the side of a remote Colorado highway. Detectives say she was last seen at her home on Friday--the day before her birthday. When she didn't show for work, pals became worried and called cops.
 Ahonen's purse, cellphone, credit cards and car keys were found inside the unlocked Jeep, but there was no sign of the well-liked woman.  Fox Denver does report that the Colorado State Patrol had contact with her Friday morning when her vehicle was spotted on the side of the highway. She told the trooper she didn't need help. So far there have been no signs of foul play, cops say but they add they are keeping all options on the table.

Friends and family have set up a Facebook page -- "Find Amy Ahonen" -- plastered with pictures of the woman. She is described as 5-foot-4, 120 lbs. She has blonde hair and green eyes. Pals say she's friendly and sociable.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is being urged to call the Denver Police Department at 720-913-2000. MORE ON MISSING WOMAN
